Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 714 Array Relative 2
The infantry of the Xianbei Army soon entered the range of the archers of the Northern Army. At this time, three thousand crossbowmen took turns to shoot arrows. Although the infantry of the Xianbei Army were all carrying shields, their shields were of average quality. And it's not without dead ends, many Xianbei soldiers fell to the ground soon after being shot by arrows, but more Xianbei soldiers continued to move forward.

"It seems that the enemy's infantry are all carefully selected." Gongsun Xu looked at the battlefield ahead and said, "These soldiers of the Xianbei Army don't seem to be used to infantry combat, and they seem to have received relatively short training time, but look Their fearless appearance does indeed have an elite aura, pass down the order and greet them with short spears, and the arrows can only play a limited role."

The Chinese army ordered the flag to be waved, and the captain who commanded the battle immediately understood. While three thousand archers were shooting arrows, more than 2000 soldiers took turns to shoot forward with short spears. This burst of short spears was incredible. The shields of many Xianbei soldiers were pierced directly, and the soldiers behind the shields were nailed to the ground. The power of short spears far exceeds that of bows and arrows. The Xianbei army suffered a lot this time.

After losing more than 1000 people, the infantry of the Xianbei Army finally joined the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army's forward positions. As soon as the sergeants of the two sides approached, they fought to the death. There was not too much shouting, and there were no gorgeous moves. It is to raise the shield, the move is simple, but every move is a murderous move.

Compared with the chaotic attack of the soldiers of the Xianbei Army, the infantry in the frontline positions of the Northern Xinjiang Army obviously cooperated very well. The shield soldiers held up their shields to resist the enemy's weapons in front, and the pikemen marched and retreated together under the command of the commander. Every attack would bring out waves of blood, and when the shield soldiers slashed down, there were almost few Xianbei soldiers in the front row alive.

"Sure enough." Ke Bi Neng looked at the two sides fighting in front and sighed: "The infantry of the Northern Border Army is proficient in formation, and they rely on the strength of the group when advancing and retreating. From this point of view, our infantry is not far behind. Few. However, our soldiers are all brave and fierce, and it is impossible for them to back down."

"This is just the beginning." The man in black nodded and said, "The cavalry on both wings of the enemy army is about to move, and it seems that they want to attack the infantry while our army is not paying attention. Well, the enemy cavalry does not move, and our cavalry does not move either."

After the cavalry of the Xianbei army stepped forward to support the infantry on their side, the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang army also fell silent. Everyone was waiting for orders, and all the generals were looking for opportunities to fight.

"The enemy is trying to consume us." Gongsun Xu looked at the battlefield ahead and said, "After the layout of our army's forward position is disrupted, the enemy cavalry should be dispatched. If they want to defeat our army, the enemy must still have to fight." Rely on strong cavalry, let the soldiers hold on, and absolutely not allow enemy infantry to enter our forward positions."

The generals of both sides are staring at the battlefield and dispatching commands at the same time. For the time being, the sergeants of both sides are inextricably killed, and it is impossible to see who has the upper hand and who has the weaker hand. There were nearly 1000 people, and even though they were now attached to the infantry of the Northern Army, there were still many spear throwers behind the infantry of the Northern Army who took the opportunity to sneak attack, and many soldiers of the Xianbei Army were killed by short spears.

"Our army will suffer if this continues." Ke Bineng said anxiously: "Our infantry has no backup in the rear, but the enemy has tens of thousands of troops. These [-] infantry can't last long. What are you going to do next? ?”

"Keep watching, isn't there still more than 3000 people in our army fighting for their lives?" The man in black said with a smile: "Besides, you have also seen that the [-] infantry in the frontier positions of the Northern Xinjiang Army also lost hundreds of people. It’s not a loss to come to our army, isn’t it?”

"But our army only has [-] infantry, even if we fight all of them, it is impossible to break through the enemy's forward position." Ke Bi Neng replied: "Unless we rely on the powerful impact of the cavalry, how can we open the gap and fight in? It’s nothing more than a war of attrition where one life is exchanged for another, what’s the difference between this and street fighting.”

"Isn't it good?" The man in black asked back: "Or, do you really want to fight directly with the Northern Border Army? How much cavalry do you think we have to waste to suppress the enemy's infantry and break through the enemy's chariot? What about array?"

"At least tens of thousands of people, but my five thousand infantry..."

"It's used for the sacrificial formation. As long as it's a battle, there will definitely be casualties. It's no big deal."

Kebi can be said to be speechless, he can be regarded as a cruel person, and he can decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people with just a few words, but now he is watching his five thousand subordinates die like this, he still has a little bit in his heart. Uncomfortable, it seems that Ke Bineng is not so cruel as to be cold-blooded.

Time passed by like this minute by minute, and soon there were only more than 2000 infantrymen left in the [-] Xianbei Army. Their attack power became weaker and weaker, but the counterattack of the Northern Xinjiang Army became more and more fierce. The counterattacks of spearmen and archers caused considerable damage to these Xianbei infantrymen, and many of them died without even meeting the northern frontier spearmen.

"There are only less than 2000 people left. If the consumption continues, these infantry will be gone." Ke Bi Neng stared at the battlefield and said: "The [-] spearmen and sword shield soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army also lost a lot of people. , to continue the stalemate will only hurt both sides, so what are you waiting for?"

The man in black didn't answer Ke Bineng's words, he was still staring at the battlefield ahead, until there were only a few hundred infantrymen of the Xianbei Army left on the battlefield ahead, and when the Northern Xinjiang Army on the opposite side had less than 1000 soldiers, he Suddenly waved the command flag and shouted: "Cavalry attack,,,,,,"

The thousands of cavalry of the Xianbei army who had previously held up the infantry for their own side rushed forward after receiving the order. They were only fifty steps away from the battlefield ahead. This distance was actually not enough for them to speed up, but it was also Because of this distance, the archers and frontline infantry of the northern border army on the opposite side could hardly stop their attack.

In the main formation of the Xianbei Army, another [-] cavalry galloped wildly. Their attacks were not slow, but they were too far away from the battlefield ahead, so they couldn't support their comrades for a while.

"Stop the cavalry on the opposite side." Gongsun Xu also ordered to block in the shortest time: "Don't let the enemy cavalry approach, hurry up, stop them."

However, the cavalry of the Xianbei Army were very close together, and the horses accelerated very fast. The cavalry of the Northern Border Army wanted to intercept them, but they were still a beat behind.

Seeing thousands of cavalry rushing ahead, the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army had no fear. Although they are very tired now and many of them have been injured, this does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness. On the contrary, at this moment, their Ferocity and bravery are aroused.

At this time, the archers have played their role. The three thousand archers directly ignored the enemy infantry in front, and each of them raised their bows and arrows to shoot forward according to the original plan. They originally existed to stop the enemy cavalry. Now The enemy cavalry came, and they just shot arrows.

However, the arrows of the archers did not achieve the expected effect. First, it was because the cavalry of the Xianbei Army came suddenly and they were well prepared; Fighting against each other, it is inevitable that they will not be able to exert their full strength.

The archers' blocking did not achieve the desired effect, which made these cavalry even more arrogant. A few Xianbei cavalry even bent their bows and mounted arrows on their horses to fight back against the Northern Army.The sudden change in the battle caught many people off guard. If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the northern border army, I am afraid that the infantry in front might not be able to survive until now.

However, looking at the entire battlefield, the most pitiful thing is the hundreds of Xianbei infantry left. They have been fighting for a long time and their physical strength is basically exhausted. Difficult, moving forward, the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army resisted to the death, retreating, did they receive the order, and now there are so many cavalry, they can't retreat at all.

The desperate Xianbei infantry had no choice but to pounce forward at this time to gain some space for the cavalry on their side, or to flee from both sides now, so that they might have a chance to escape.Although they got the order to advance, Ke Bineng did not give the order to die. Moreover, it is not easy for them to survive until now. Even if they retreat now, no one will blame them. After all, the cavalry has rushed up Yes, they can leave.

Surprisingly, none of the remaining hundreds of Xianbei Army infantrymen wanted to escape. They just used their last breath and rushed towards the Northern Xinjiang Army infantrymen brandishing their weapons. He didn't even have a weapon, so he could only charge with a shield on his shoulders.

When the spears pierced their bodies, and when the war knives slashed on them, these Xianbei soldiers were relieved. They had shed the last drop of blood for their own side, and they were considered loyal to the Xianbei tribe.

Soon, the cavalry of the Xianbei army rushed up stepping on the corpses of their own infantry. Although their speed was not very fast, cavalry was cavalry. Thick formations are used to resist, otherwise, ordinary infantry will only be killed when they encounter cavalry who charge up.

At this time, the remaining more than 1000 infantrymen of the Northern Xinjiang Army were squatting on the ground, each of them was holding a spear or carrying a shield. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be waiting to die, but look at their behavior , they obviously still want to fight the enemy to the death.

The archers and spear-throwers had already evacuated, and they were useless at this time. Even if they stayed here, they would be trampled into flesh.

On the side of the Xianbei Army's middle army position, Ke Bi Neng looked at the man in black and asked, "What did you do to my subordinates?"

"I promise them gold and silver." The man in black sneered, "I also promise them that as long as they work hard, their families will be rewarded handsomely."
